If you are taking supplements like eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), vitamin E and beta-carotene for dry skin—here are some simple dietary suggestions to improve your scaly arms and legs:
- Reduce your fat intake by about 25 percent
- Eat fish three times a week and
- Limit red meat to no more than twice weekly
